Description hansbee 2012-04-05 23:39:20 UTC
When CONFIG_X86_X2APIC is set, the machine in question (Lenovo W520) will lock
up during early stages of system boot. Machine suddenly becomes completely
unresponsive and no further diagnostics can be obtained.

Kernel boots correctly until root file system is mounted and udev starts its
"settle" phase, loading the modules for pending uevents. There seems to be no
correlation between the modules being loaded and the lock up event occurring,
yet it always happens during this stage.

11.716922 udevd[133]: Starting version xxx (here it hangs often)

If X2APIC is disabled by setting the nox2apic kernel option, everything works fine. When the VT-d is disabled in the BIOS (version 1.36) things also become stable.

See also Bug 34262 for 2.6.x kernels.
Comment 1 H. Peter Anvin 2012-04-05 23:46:54 UTC
Sounds like a classic BIOS bug.  This should be reported to Lenovo, and probably we should blacklist x2APIC on this machine.

What does "dmidecode" show?

tried current kernel on my T420, vt-d, x2apic, irq-remapping, dmar all works well.

Comment 5 hansbee 2012-04-06 22:16:36 UTC
as soon as it becomes available ;)
Comment 6 Suresh B Siddha 2012-04-06 22:41:44 UTC
So from the descriptions above, it sounds like the Lenovo BIOS SMI handling is not supporting x2apic mode. Will post a kernel patch to blacklist x2apic enabling on this system, once I figure out what I need to use for the blacklist. It looks like even some (not all) T420's are affected.
Comment 7 Daniel Swarbrick 2012-05-26 12:58:47 UTC
I'm fairly certain I'm seeing this bug on Ubuntu "quantal", kernel package 3.4.0-3-generic (x86_64). Since the 3.4 release candidates started landing in the Ubuntu repos, I had fairly consistent boot hangs on my Thinkpad T500. I've just disabled VT-d in my BIOS and so far two out of two boots succeeded.

I have the latest available BIOS installed (3.24, from December 2011).
Comment 8 willadams 2012-05-26 21:09:57 UTC
I'm experiencing the same thing on a Lenovo Thinkpad L520.  I had previously thought it was a bug in any 3.2.x kernel or later because that's when I started having problems but 3.2.x and 3.3.x kernels are working now with CONFIG_X86_X2APIC=n.  That option wasn't present in the Archlinux kernel configs before 3.2.0.  

Am I missing out on anything by not being able to enable x2apic?

I'm using the latest BIOS (8GET39WW 1.16 4/3/2012).

Comment 10 Robert Lewis 2012-10-19 02:54:47 UTC
Confirmed to still be an issue on the W520 with bios 1.39, kernel 3.6.2.

Current workarounds I have tried that work:
1) Use integrated graphics only
2) Use Optimus with bumblebee
3) Use 32-bit instead of 64-bit
4) Disable VT-D in the bios
5) intel_iommu=off
Comment 11 Robert Lewis 2012-10-19 06:07:23 UTC
Please ignore the previous workarounds in comment 10. Only 1 Seems and 4 seem to work consistently.

Comment 17 H. Peter Anvin 2012-11-26 18:36:17 UTC
From the looks of it it, it is specifically the combination of these Thinkpads with Nvidia discrete graphics that is causing problems, i.e. the problem is in the Nvidia-specific part of the BIOS.  I don't know if there is any sane way to qualify this based on a PCI quirk or something like that, though.

0001-x86-apic-Blacklist-x2apic-when-Nivida-graphics-enab.patch

Set blacklist x2apic when Nivida graphics enabled on some platforms: like ThinkPad W520 and ThinkPad T420.
Comment 20 Song Youquan 2012-12-01 12:38:26 UTC
I do not add quirk at arch/x86/kernel/early_quirks.c::early_quirks, because we only need check the Nivida graphics enabled or not at when issued platform detected like ThinkPad W520 and ThinkPad T420 which have x2apic capability.

you should add one variable and quirk in early-quirk.c. when it detect
nvidia card,
set that variable.

then use that variable later. instead of loop pci devices again .

can you use my patch at:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/yinghai/linux-yinghai.git;a=patch;h=de38757e964cfee20e6da1977572a2191d7f4aa0

at first one?

then second patch will create one early_quirk to set
early_found_nvidia_display_card.

then third one will be use that early_found_nvidia_display_card?

This bug affects my laptop which doesn't have nvidia graphics.  Thinkpad L520 with intel graphics only.

thus you can remove one #ifdef and later could resuse it in other case.

interesting.

Actually I checked one T520 with Nvidia graphics, it seems x2apic works well.

Now it is very confusing now.

my test:
t420 without nvidia chipset, works with x2apic.
t510 with nvidia chipset, works with x2apic.

Comment 31 H. Peter Anvin 2012-12-04 18:51:22 UTC
T510 or T520?  T510 is a completely different box...

x86,apic: Blacklist x2APIC on some platforms.
Refer to bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/922037
T420 with Nvidia graphics: The BIOS version from: 83ET63WW(1.33) to 83ET72WW (1.42 ), the issue always shows. T420 without Nvidia graphics, the issue disappears. So blacklist x2apic on T420 only Nvidia graphics enabled. 

Thinkpad T520 with Nivida graphics and L520 without Nvidia graphics, both of them have the issue, so blacklist them for a simple solution.

can you move declaring of
   extern int early_found_nvidia_display_card;
to other .h instead of apic.h ?

It does not look like belonging to apic.h

Hi Yinghai,

Can you get your patch http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/yinghai/linux-yinghai.git/diff/?id=de38757e964cfee20e6da1977572a2191d7f4aa0 upstream 

and then take the x2APIC fix patch http://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/18/1 to upstream.

After that, we can close this bug.

Comment 39 Richard Foltyn 2013-06-30 15:45:50 UTC
One additional solution seems to be to disable CSM in the UEFI configuration, without the additional need to specify 'nox2apic' or to disable VT-d. With CSM on, I otherwise observe the same issues reported above on my T430.

Thus the following configurations work in my machine with discrete graphics:
1) CSM off
2) CSM on, 'nox2apic' kernel parameter
3) CSM on, VT-d off

Unfortunately, the Lenovo Forums claim that CSM is required if you are dual-booting Windows 7 or lower on these ThinkPads, so turning it off may not be viable for everyone. For a pure Linux setup it's not required, though.

Comment 42 Fredy Neeser 2014-09-04 09:21:59 UTC
I'm getting the same early boot hang with a Lenovo W530 on which I have VT-d enabled, and adding nox2apic to the commandline resolves the issue.

This is not on a vanilla kernel, but I'm pretty sure that there is a problem with the W530 across all distros, so it seems the kernel should blacklist the W530 from using x2apic if Discrete Graphics are detected.
At least for the current BIOS version (2.53) -- not sure if upgrading to the latest BIOS (2.59) will change anything.

Steps to reproduce:
1. BIOS:
   - Configure for Discrete Graphics  
   - Enable VT-x and VT-d under Security -> Virtualization
2. Use Nvidia driver
3. Configure kernel commandline *without* nox2apic
4. Boot Fedora
5. Early boot hang when udev becomes active, close to the
   likely unrelated "Could not configure common clock" message

Boot hang is 100% reproducible with the S/W versions shown below.


Option A to avoid boot hang (preferred):
Steps as above, but add nox2apic to kernel commandline

Option B to avoid boot hang:
Steps as above, but disable VT-d in BIOS


Digging further, I found the following related bugs, and infos [2] on the solution combining VT-x + VT-d with the nox2apic kernel parameter, which is preferable to disabling VT-d:

Have you tried nouveau? I'm also using a W530 with VT-x, VT-d, and discrete graphics without the nox2apic parameter and experiencing no issues with the nouveau driver.

It does not seem to matter which UEFI/Legacy setting is chosen. I normally boot with UEFI only, with CSM support, but have tried all of the UEFI supporting options.

Comment 44 Peter Linnell 2015-04-29 05:14:30 UTC
This affects W-530 as well.  

Adding nox2apic to grub config works around this. 

I'm using discrete mode with Nvidia blob, but nouveau has heat and performance issues still.
Comment 45 Jamin W. Collins 2015-05-29 01:45:06 UTC
I'm running into exactly the same problem with a W530 using the nouveau driver, VT-d enable, and discrete graphics (obviously).  I have to pass the nox2apic parameter or the system locks up, just as others have stated.

$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -t11 && uname -r      
G5ET99WW (2.59 )
# dmidecode 2.12
# SMBIOS entry point at 0xdf69e000
SMBIOS 2.7 present.

What is necessary to get the quirk included in the mainline kernel?

4.0.4-2-ARCH
Comment 46 Jamin W. Collins 2015-05-29 02:01:34 UTC
I can confirm that disabling CSM allows for the removal of the nox2apic parameter on the W530 even with both VT-d and discrete graphics enabled.
